Comp cams short travel lifters
 

Has any body used these and are they legal for stock the web site doesnt say what the travel is?

Re: Comp cams short travel lifters
 

Have tried three sets. They were all over the board on travel.

Set One Pumped down while cranking engine and bent many pushrods

Set Two Pumped down about 1000 ft. and Killed 5 MPH each rum.

Set Three Have about .200 travel and something wrong with plunger so
did not try.


I showed them to Rep at trailer several Nationals and he was too busy to even
look at them and really not interested. He would not take them back with him
and said to send them back to Summit where i BOUGHT THEM.
I talked to teck on phone and he said I was wrong about lifters and the
problems did not exist.!

I am going to find another Cam Co. after many years of using their
stuff even if it costs me a couple on ET.

I am, back to Modifying my own lifters.

Jim, get the Allen Sherman lifters and be done.

I believe Crazy Ukrainian Denysenko has them in stock for your application. :)

Call Tim, he will care

I have been trying to get a hold of Alex left messages. Shermans is what I have in the motor in the car they have been great for me, plan on getting more. The guys at the machine shop ask me if I know of anybody running them. I didn't see any spec's on there web site.

I'm certain that Tim Cole at Comp Cams would be very interested in your situation.

Re: Comp cams short travel lifters
 

Does Tim Cole have a direct # or E Mail.

Re: Comp cams short travel lifters
 

All you have to do is call Comp and ask for Tim. They'll put you through, Tim will get back to you if you get his voice mail.

You can modify lifters? Cool!!!

Re: Comp cams short travel lifters
 

I talked to Comp this afternoon.

The conversation did not go too far before the rep asked
me: Where did I buy the lifters? I told him I purchased them
thru Summit like most of the stuff I buy.

He then asked me since I did not buy them from Comp directly......
How did I not know that Summit did not put lifters from some
OTHER vendor into their boxes by mistake or they were returns
that had been switched by Summit before my purchase. I almost
fell out of my chair when he told me that they were probably not
his product. We work a long week out here and it makes more
sense to buy from Summit in the evening than to find time to talk to fifty different
manufactures during our work day.

I told him I had bought three sets and did not think it likely that
all three had been switched and the boxes and lifters looked
brand new. The conversation went down hill from there...I told
him I did not want any money but want to buy one more set from them
direct and have them INSPECTED by someone prior to shipping for quality
control and I was willing to pay WHATEVER it would cost. He did not want to go
to that trouble for me as they just did not have the time for all of that.

There went $400 or $500 down the drain! I left a message for
Tim Cole and maybe I will try again as I am trying to race the new
Aspen this Friday.

It is not that I am too stupid to modify my lifters.
By the time I buy two sets and take the plungers out
to make a single set it cost more that buying a low
travel set. I WILL not shim them solid like
a lot of what I have seen....They have to still be somewhat
operational. It is cheaper and easier to buy them finished.

I am not a engine builder or machinist like a lot of my
competitors but just a old Hillbilly trailer builder.
